Rash, A Memoir

Written by Lisa Kusel

Narrated by Hollis Welsh

Have you ever dreamed of running away to paradise? Lisa Kusel did that when she convinced her schoolteacher husband to apply for a job at the newly-opened Green School in Bali. Six weeks after his SKYPE interview, Lisa, Victor, and their six-year-old daughter Loy packed up their lives in California and moved halfway around the planet. But, as the saying goes: be careful what you wish for. Instead of finding a serene place to write her next novel, an exciting shot of adrenaline for her floundering marriage, and an amazing school for Loy, Kusel ends up in a world of burning corpses, moldy bamboo, manic monkeys, and a school that seemed to be less of an educational trendsetter and more of a showroom for selling bamboo huts. RASH isn’t just the dark, flipside of "Eat, Pray Love": it’s a laugh-out-loud wake-up call. Sharply written and ultimately touching, RASH is the story of a woman looking for reconnection, but looking way too far from home.
